Everyone who wants to sing should have the opportunity to do so!  That’s the belief guiding A Joyful Noise, which welcomes singers of all abilities, creating a place for everyone, even for those who think they “can’t” sing.  AJN creator Eva Bostrand believes singing is a natural and powerful means of expression that everyone can learn.  With no auditions or previous singing experience required to join, AJN provides a safe and supportive space to learn and explore while building musical confidence and skill.    

There are three AJN choirs, each with its own character, and offering different levels of commitment, skill and experience.  Wednesday choir is a nonperforming choir with a focus on choral education, appealing to those looking to learn the fundamentals in a relaxed, fun environment.  Monday choir members continue to learn and build confidence as choral singers, and will share what they have learned by performing in formal concerts and outreach performances.  Thursday choir singers explore more challenging repertoire and perform in several formal concerts and outreach concerts.  There is a place for everyone in these welcoming and inclusive groups.  Financial hardship need not be a barrier to participation, as A Joyful Noise provides a discretionary reduced registration fee and bursaries may be available through AJN’s “Geoff Fund”.
